"I'm really familiar with Coach Morris. I'm a big fan of him. The girl's basketball coach is his sister. So I'm really familiar with the Morrises. He has a niece that goes to my school also."

KNOWING COACH MORRIS SISTER AN ADVANTAGE:

"It makes the decision process a little bit more easier. So I don't have to do as much research and background check and all of that to make sure I'm in the right spot."

CORNERBACKS COACH MARK SMITH:

"I like that he cares about his players. Ask them about their personal lives and makes sure everything is alright and everything is on the good. Every time we talk is a good time. That's what I like."
